At parts of the Winter Olympics in Italy, COVID precautions remain, grounded in the reality that respiratory illness is still circulating. When your lungs are your livelihood, prevention is part of performance. #COVID #COVID19 #PublicHealth #InfectionPrevention #Olympics #LongCOVID #MaskUp #N95

Photo of four athletes seated at a press conference table, all wearing face masks, with microphones in front of them. A blue backdrop behind them shows sponsor logos (including P&G, Samsung, TCL, Visa, Salomon) and Olympic branding. WHN branding “whn.global” appears at the top left. Large yellow text over the lower half reads: “Olympians are still masking in 2026” Smaller white text below reads: “At the Winter Olympics in Italy, some athletes are still masking and isolating, aware that COVID and other respiratory illnesses are not over.” Footer text: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.”

Masking should be emphasized as a primary strategy for preventing the airborne transmission of COVID-19, while also acknowledging the limitations of handwashing in protecting against airborne infections. #PublicHealth #CovidIsNotOver #COVID19 #airborne #infectionprevention #infectioncontrol #CDC

Why do you mask? We recognize that people wear masks for many important reasons. Reply with your reason below and help promote health and safety in our communities. #Masking #KN95 #YallMasking #PublicHealth #InfectionPrevention #COVID #COVID19 #CommunityHealth

This digital graphic has a dark gray background and follows the same structure. "I MASK BECAUSE..." is written in bold white text, followed by: "I’ve already been infected with COVID and reinfection puts me at risk for long-term issues." A small white N95-style mask appears in the bottom right.

A digital graphic with a deep burgundy background features "I MASK BECAUSE..." in large white text. The reason is: "I know that COVID isn’t mild." The same small white N95-style mask appears in the lower right corner.

A digital graphic with a beige background displays the same layout, with "I MASK BECAUSE..." in bold white text. The reason given is: "I may currently have an asymptomatic case of COVID, and I don’t want to infect others." The white mask illustration is placed in the lower right.

COVID-19 is still spreading. Respirator masks are still one of the simplest ways to reduce risk, for you and the people around you. #COVID19 #COVIDIsNotOver #COVID #LongCOVID #InfectionPrevention #PublicHealth #LongCOVIDAwareness

COVID spreads fast in shared indoor air — any season, any time. Let’s build healthy habits that protect us year-round: masks, ventilation, and testing when sick. #PublicHealth #CleanAir #COVID #COVID19 #InfectionPrevention

Even one COVID infection can have lasting impacts on the heart, brain, and blood vessels. Prevention is long-term health care. #LongCOVID #CleanAir #PublicHealth #COVID19 #InfectionPrevention #COVID #MaskUp

Hospitals shouldn’t be a place where patients and healthcare workers get infected. Preventing airborne infections requires system-level protections, not “optional” measures. Because prevention works—and clean air saves lives. Read more: whn.global/importance-o... #N95 #InfectionPrevention

“Throughout history, foundational public health measures—such as hygiene protocols, vaccination campaigns, and universal blood safety standards—emerged in response to widespread morbidity and mortality.
While these measures faced initial resistance, they have since become cornerstones of modern healthcare.”

“The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic underscores the urgent need to address address airborne aerosol transmission, especially in healthcare settings, where high-risk individuals are concentrated and healthcare workers face repeated exposure.
A study published in JAMA Network Open (2024) found that halting universal masking and SARS-CoV-2 testing in hospitals led to a 25% increase in hospital-onset respiratory viral infections compared to community infections. Reinstating masking reduced these infections by 33%.”

“To safeguard healthcare environments, it is imperative to transition from reactive source-control policies to proactive systemic public health measures.
Healthcare systems must adopt systemic, evidence-based interventions, including:
• Universal Respirator Use (N95)
• Improved Ventilation Standards (HEPA + air exchange)
• Strategic Testing

COVID infections are not harmless. Research shows that initial and repeated COVID-19 infections can increase the risk of long-term health problems affecting multiple organ systems. Preventing infection and reinfection helps reduce these risks. #COVID #LongCOVID #InfectionPrevention #PublicHealth
